<p>Hey <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="120823">@DPC</span>, is there a reason you're now suggesting authors of inactive-closed PRs to open a new PR, instead of saying they can re-open the existing one?</p>

<p>generally when they get to it - theres a chance that conflicts might accumulate. So easier to start with a new PR</p>

<p>also that's an auto reply which I use for all PRs that i'm closing (and generally most of those have conflicts)</p>

<p>nah i'm not to worried about that. more worried that it feels like a bigger obstacle for them to continue on their work later. but in practice re-opening the same one is probably more effort, yeah.</p>

<p>generally they would have the branch on their local fork</p>

<p>I also recall there being some weird github behaviour where you have to reopen the PR before pushing to the branch or it gets confused, so it might be net easier to just make a new one.</p>

<p>I think you can't re-open a PR if you force-pushed to it while it was closed</p>

<p>FYI: Last time my PR was closed by the reviewer I didn't have a permission to re-open it (and I didn't push to the branch or anything).</p>
